Take some time to look at some of the links posted below in order to write your report Remember you are all reproducing a 1 page report (not one for the whole group)
The due date for the report and the presentation to the class is Feb 19 (D) and Feb 20 (E/G)
Earthquake Resistant Construction For Civil and Structural engineers, a series of pages regarding construction. Click NEXT PAGE at bottom of each page after reading.
Here is a pdf from the Los Angeles Fire Department (I know it is big and may take a while to download but it is good) Pages you should especially look at are 4,5,8,9,15 (the other pages may also be of some help)
• With your partners, read the flood case study associated with your group number below;
• While reading, take note of the following details:
1.WHEN did the flood occur?
2.WHERE did the flood occur?
3.WHY did the flood occur (i.e. what caused the flood?)
4.WHO was impacted by the flood?
5.WHAT was the response to the flood?
• With the above information, create a concise, yet effective PowerPoint presentation about the flood and its impacts with your partners. Keep in mind the Tips for Good PowerPoint Presentations below as you and your partners work together on the presentation;
• You should have no more than 5 slides and include at least 3 images (1 per slide) that support the detail presented;
• When you are finished with the PowerPoint, save the final draft to my Drop Folder (caitken – ISB Geography – Flood Case Studies - your class letter );
• Be prepared to present the details of your flood case study in a 2 minute presentation to the class.
• You have 45 minutes to complete the task, after which you will present your case study.
Tips for Good PowerPoint Presentations -Create easy to read slides with limited amounts of text (NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS). Too much information on a slide can detract from the presentation. -Make sure text (writing) is legible and clearly visible against any images or backgrounds. -Be sure to use a simple, large font, 28 pt or larger. -Animate only words, phrases, sentences or graphics. DON’T OVER USE ANIMATIONS! -Background and animations should not be complicated or distract your audience. Use visuals only if they are necessary to keep up audience interest. -Figures and photographs should be clear and easy to understand in a short period of time. -Choose a background you like, and that will complement your text and images. -Pictures and graphics should help keep an audience's attention. -Everything on each slide should be easily seen and read from the back of the room.
